parents grounding me all the time! Also, Special thanks to Sanima: You
complement couldn't have made me prouder! ^^
Chapter Fifteen: Lost in the Future

Faye almost passed out, from both the sight and smell of the thing. Spike took a step back. "It must be one of those things Ash has!"
Jet backed off as well. "Gleh, this thing is disgusting!"
"Grimer!!" The pokemon cried.
"YUCK!" Spike, Jet and Faye said together.
"MUK!"
"... ?"
Billions of Grimers appeared, surrounding them, followed by a much bigger blob of gunk. Spike took out his gun. "I'll just shoot all of them, maybe then-"
"NO!"
Ash ran into the scene. He stood in front of Spike's aim, nose plugged.
"You can't just shoot them! They haven't done anything! Just walk away and they won't hurt you... And Don't insult the way they smell, or they will!" He added quickly.
Spike glared. The last thing he wanted to do was to do whatever a twelve year old told him, but then again, he wasn't the pokemon expert.
Ash was.
He tossed the gun onto the ground. "Fine, let's just get out of here, I can't stand their smell at-"
But Spike had just insulted the Grimer and Muk. Muk seemed to inflate like a balloon out of anger...
"I-I mean, it's such a wonderful smell!" Spike corrected, "It reminds me of Grandma's apple pie..."
"Ooh gross!" Faye exclaimed, "You're Grandma's pie must've been dis-"
"SHUTUP FAYE!" Jet yelled, but all too late.
The Muk and Grimer surrounded them. Ash took a step back. "I TOLD you... "
"Let's just get out of here!" Faye yelped, turning and running like the wind in its youth. Spike, Jet and Ash followed, and so did the sludge pokemon.
"They're gaining on us! We're doomed!"
"Shut up, Faye!"
"Will you both be quiet and run?!"
"Why me?!"
~*~*~*
Spike leaned against a lamppost, panting. Jet wiped sweat off of his balding head. "What the hell were those things?" Faye asked, hands on her knees.
"Those were Grimer and Muk, sludge type pokemon..." Ash replied. He wasn't panting.
He was thinking.
"It said in my Pokedex that they're born out of sludge itself... so that's why they're in the sewers..."
Spike let out a loud sigh, sitting down. "I am never going down there ever again... those things were out of this world..."
Ash shook his head. "No, they're just from the past..."
Spike raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"
Ash's eyes sparkled with tears. He had always wanted to become the greatest pokemon master, to be remembered by all for centuries...
But if pokemon would be forgotten, he himself would be too.
It wouldn't make a difference if he went back in time again... everything would be forgotten.
Before Spike could come to his senses and try to turn Ash in, the young bounty head dashed down the street, tears falling onto the ground as he ran.
~*~*~*
Ein sniffed Spike for a second, then whimpered. Ed laughed. "Spike smells like he cut cheese!"
Spike glared at them. He was waiting for Faye to get out of the shower. Even though it had been a brief in counter, he smelled just like a newborn Grimer.
He sighed heavily, thinking about Ash. Why had he run off crying? Where was that Peachy thing that was always riding on his shoulder?
Spike suddenly remembered the battle he had with Vicious in the air... had Vicious taken his poke-what's its??
"... And now it's time for big shot, the show that tells all about fugitives!"
Spike sat down and watched, learning they had raised the bounty from 6395,100.90 to 7394,150.91. He leaned against the couch, yawning and watching out of pure boredom...
~*~*~*
"... This isn't fair..."
Ash had come back to the alley only to find nothing left. Only a note lying on the ground saying 'Thank you very much'.
They even took his hat.
"This isn't fair..." Ash repeated, leaning against the alley wall and sinking to the floor. Oh well, at least they'll be well fed now.
But Ash HAD to get them back somehow...
But how? They had guns and he had nothing. Just a few woo longs he had found lying on the ground.
That and an empty stomach.
Ash took the picture of him, Brock, Misty, and Snap and held it tightly, looking at how happy they were.
Tears streamed down his cheeks. He was stuck in a world he barely knew. He was sad, terrified, and homesick all at the same time.
He was lost in the future... possibly for the rest of his life.
